google has gone Greek

I live in Crete, Greece and, up to now, I have had no problems with Google searches. But now, everything is in Greek - logon, search dialogue boxes and search results only find .gr URL's
What can I do to tell Google that I want English and .UK or .com results?

At the very bottom of the Google search home page is there a line of text (probably in Greek)? If so the far right one of those should be Google.com - there is on the Google UK page anyway. To get to Google.com you should click on that far line of text as they are links and it might just take you to the Google.com page

Google seems to have a time limit on when it decides you are no longer a visitor but a resident and then changes it's search page to whatever language it thinks is local. I have a mate who spent three years in Kefalonia and after a few months had the same problem.
